Even as Argent found her seizing on the office floor in an unlit room, twitching hands digging into her scalp, Maggot had still turned onto her side to avoid choking on her vomit. ... A knock at the door. Back to it in bed, every muscle in Maggot's body went taught with terror. She heard the door open. "Argent?" she called. "It's me." Argent's voice, soft and cool. At it, and the sound of the door closing behind her, the tension retreated from Maggot's body. "Thank god," Whispered faintly. Argent sat on the edge of the bed, Maggot's shivering back, wrapped in sheets, still facing her. "You're obviously not well enough to have left the hospital wing." "I've been worse," Maggot mumbled, drawing the blanket tighter around her. "Needed to be alone." "The supervision was the main reason I was hoping you'd stay in the hospital." Maggot laughed at that, high and hard until she ram out of breath. Argent considered laying a hand on her shoulder, but drew her hand back, suspecting it would just be shrugged off anyway. Instead they sat in silence a moment. "I saw the will," Argent finally said. "Shh." Maggot shut her eyes, trying to stop her stomach from churning at its mention. Another moment passed. Quietly, "Argent?" Argent looked over; Maggot shifted in the sheets to finally turn to look at her, face wan but eyes anxious. "You can't tell them about this." Argent stopped a beat. "They're going to hear about the will, Maggot." "No, about *this.* The..." She shifted so that she can more easily face her. "They're gonna say I killed her for the money and I tried to kill myself when I saw there was none." Seeing Argent's face, "*I didn't!* I knew the will would be empty. I *told* them that. Of course she wouldn't want me to have *anything.* But seeing it just..." She stopped, working on slowing and steadying her breaths; This time, Argent did rest a hand on her shoulder. It's cold was a shock that almost made Maggot start laughing again. Finally, she peered back up. "You can't tell them. I can't go to jail." Argent gave the smallest of nods. Maggot seemed instantly relieved, though it was outweighed by the discomfort of the poison in her system, and she laid back down, curling in. "If I get arrested I'm using a bullet instead of pesticide," she muttered. "I'm so fucking tired of drinking shit."

"Me and a friend, we used to go as far as we could, to the edge of Petrie Mire, where the swamp thinned out into this big empty marsh, and you could see forever, all the way to the horizon. We talked about leaving sometimes. But we never went past the edge of the swamp. Maldep, my friend - I think it was because he had unfinished business. It was insane, but I don't think he could ever leave without at least trying to kill the dragon. Me, though... I never really knew why I didn't leave. I thought maybe I was just scared. But I also think maybe that was Erswetz. Always making sure I turned back around whenever I got out there, making sure I went home, where I was supposed to be. ... But here I am now. And I'm worried I'm too far from home, father. I'm worried she can't reach me no more. "But that's not it. Maybe she can't reach me, but other things have. Not gods, maybe, but... Our mom used to tell us, when we were too small to go out, 'Don't leave camp on your own. There's monsters out there.' And now there's the Pillars. And something worse. And I'm all alone."

Wanted to just make a quick note like "drawing of maggot presenting the wolf plushie looking so happy with herself drawing of argent examining it like "is this [scar] drawn on in red pen" maggot "yea do you like it" and of course final drawing maggot cuddling wolf plushie" but I want it to be cute and not sad but i know there is 1 obvious reason maggot would have the wolf plushie back 😔 Plot twist you Think she has the wolf because argents been oxblooded but Argent comes over and is like aw... and she starts to take the wolf to let maggot cuddle the real thing instead but maggot immediately exclaims "Ah cold fuck off !". Smash cut to Argent holding the wolf facing away from her while maggot sulks "cut me some slack Argent you startled me" and argents like "no you're right the stuffed wolf is a lot more comfortable to sleep with anyway ."

I walk out of the bedroom, I spy Magni standing in the kitchen, looking at me in the dress. I smile back, delicately lifting the hem as I move towards her. She meets me at the kitchen threshold, cupping my cheek in her hand. "You have never been more beautiful." I sip from a cup of tea hands me (cup is empty actually). "I'll be in bed, she says, "unless the tea is bad, in which case I'll make you another cup." I smile. "The tea is fine. Good night." "I'll miss you until you join me. Don't stay up too late." I waver at the doorway to the bedroom. The bed is empty. The room is empty. I also still kind of like this take. I removed it because it came off kind of corny in my first pass but it might be worth another look. This would be how I'd do it as a campaign flashback for sure. You're walking back to the bedroom your partner just went into and the other door down the hall shuts and locks. You go into the bedroom for your partner's help but the room is empty. What a nightmare.

Ok it's time for the natural consequence. Oc perfume time
Ellis: Fresh and warm. Sea water, sunny ozone, linen and cashmere, strong wood, a hint of rain, a touch of musk, sweet cinnamon, and pear.
Renn: Middle-priced bodyspray brand nobody really talks about. Sweet and cold, artificial mingling with natural; Blueberry, salt, ylang ylang, snow and cedar. An undertone of exhaust and synthetic leather.
Jon: Perfumey, earthy floral masculine, a hint of the exotic. White flowers, lavender, amber, patchouli, tobacco; Undertones of ivory and ink and an unmistakable whiff of sea salt.
Jess: A trace of cheap men's cologne (sandalwood, musk, and sweet whiskey) swept away by sweat, leather, and dead leaves, comforting musty garage smell, maybe a bit of soft coconut?, a hint of exhaust.
Bas: Sophisticated and subtle. You notice the copper first, but any closer and you smell a warm masculine blend of amber, patchouli, lily, oakwood, paper, and a whiff of smoke.
Nott: Strong musk and blackberry overtone, faint summery rain and dirt, maple, gardenia, and nettle, soft leather undertone, hint of dusty iron.
Lancaster: Peach and plum and teakwood, salt and leather and spice, hint of water lily buried in it.
Way: Understated and calming. Ozone, wood, rain, white flowers, stays close to the clothes; Tea you can only smell very close to the skin.
Tbc
Tarra: Natural indie perfume. Longlasting nighttime garden and musk; Gardenia, violets, rose, musk, jasmine, lilac. Hidden earthy note of damp dirt and cold powdery silk at its centre. The sweet florals and musk mix to enhances the natural scent of the skin.

Ok it's scent cabinet time Viva la Juicy Neon by Juicy Couture (Eau de Parfum) Honestly never would have guessed this perfume is this price. It's a nice enough sweet juicy orangey perfume, but it honestly reminds me of a preteen's bath and body works grapefruit-scented body spray. Terre d'Hermes by Hermes (Eau de Parfum) Turns out I like bergamot. Sophisticated bright masculine. Chloe by Chloe (Eau de Parfum) Flowery subtle pretty. Rosy, maybe powdery? Gentle. Smells like muted pale pink-beige looks smells like being a brunette wearing cream pink. Cyberpunk by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) Exceeded expectations. Bought it because it sounded so strange to have so many glowing reviews. Fantastic. Leather jacket and spice, so warm and familiar, smells like being in a dusty antiques garage. Activates the part of my brain that loves sniffing gasoline. A great winter scent. Maybe for summer nights too. Love the oil - no alcohol smell interfering. Brackish by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) Disappointing. Not very strong but still has a pungent bitter green smell that just makes me kind of unhappy. Lives up to its name, I guess - like a pond covered in algae. It's died down to something more palatably floral. Basilisk by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) Didn't expect to like this one! It's not very exciting, smells mostly like incense, but like incense and a vase of flowers or like it's set by the window on a spring day. A little linen candley. I can't say I'm very interested in incense-heavy smells because I feel like a woman whos very into crystals when I smell like this one but this one is so fresh soft and springlike I admit it makes me happy. The Devil by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) That review that said it went on candy-sweet then died down into something more complex was dead-on. The cherry is potent and delicious. I still find it a bit too incensey, I wish it were another smell making it more mature - cherry-flavored incense stick. Maybe I didn't put enough but I'm losing the scent as well. Imp by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) Another one I'm disappointed in. Not terrible, but a grassy smell - I've already lost the honeysuckle note. Like a green scented candle named "meadow" - not one I'd buy after smelling. The Chariot by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) I can hardly describe this one, not in a particularly good or bad way. Pure spicy. I smell like I'm wearing Chai tea. It's fine, it'll be nice for a cold morning like today. Temperance by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) Another pungent green scented candle. Hunter's Kiss by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) A bit overwhelming, maybe it's the rum. I don't hate it, it's more sensual than the green smells, but I feel like I smell like somebody's grandfather and not in a great way. Maybe reminds me of old spice? Tower by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) Thank god this one's better than Brackish. Finding it very faint but I kind of like it. A little warmer but not spicy, no pungent green. Subtle and kind of comforting. Satyr by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) Distinct from he others at least. Captures the name really well, blackberry and musk. I think it's musk that I find really pleasant in it - or maybe it's smoke! I feel like a nice restaurant in the countryside with a bonfire and patio after dark, I do like this one. Judgement by Andromeda's Curse (Oil) Another smell I'm mostly just getting incensey smell from, with something pungent in there, more like zest than greens like the others. Aventus by Creed (Eau de Parfum) Fine. There's something you can't beat about wearing expensive men's perfume. I can't say anything about the scent except that I felt wealthy and masculine sex appeal wearing it. The alcohol smell is a bit jarring after the oils, but I kind of missed it - I feel like I'm wearing perfume, not incense! Bleu de Chanel by Chanel Citrus. Definitely more mature than Viva la Juicy Neon, with an almost salty die down reminiscent of being out of a steamy shower, but honestly not impressing me very much for what it is. Very generic and not something I'd wear to a formal event... but points for subtlety on die down. Subtle mediterannean smell that blends with my skin chemistry in a friendly way. Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel Pretty, undeniably. Almost too feminine for me, like a peach colored dress made of tulle, but the apricot note when I put it on has grown on me a bit. Nothing wrong with it! Summery. Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian Sweeter than I expected and seems to melt into my skin. Fascinating and almost subtle - but almost too rich and decadent to suit me. If I order another sampler from andromeda: Orrery, She Dreams in Digital, The Magician, Incubi, Vega Deneb & Altair, Maneki Neko, Bloodmoon, The Moon, Patisserie, Suwannee, Gorgon, Mercury... Maybe worth checking out alkemia

Bimonthly reread of sand and ashes because I'm thinking about stories and I'm thinking about Noah. 1) It's so clear from how Chris acts in this exactly why he's the way he is, and it is SO funny that Ray, the girl with more than 1 eccentric alter ego for a coping mechanism, is the sibling who came out normal. 2) feeling emotions about noah and ray. he hurt her when she needed him when they needed each other and he snaps he didn't know better he wishes he knew better 3) having feelings about the couple times in this I emphasized noah feeling so horribly alone for how much of a "I'd rather be alone" type he is in the present. possibly entering another woobification era.

"Look, she was good and all, but I dunno if the street rat's worth the trouble." "She's not a street rat, she was playing with Steel. Trust me on this one. I smell a winner." Jack's being hauled down a hotel hallway, one arm in Yohai's hold and the other in Magni's, leaking noseblood onto the carpet with every couple steps. Blearily, she speaks her first words: "Am I being kidnapped?" "Depends!" answers Magni, immediately and enthusiastically. "Do you have a problem with it?" Jackwell's silent for a long enough time after that that Magni looks down on her, observing how deep in thought about that one she looks. "I mean... Steel's gonna want me back..." "Sure, but would you still rather be with Steel if we paid you just as well? Better?" "..." Jackwell goes back to thinking about that as they get to their room; Yohai drops her arm to open the door and Magni barely manages to catch the extra weight. The door is ceremoniously kicked open and Yohai scoops Jack back up to drag her the rest of the way to the bed. "Once again," says Yohai, "she was good, but we don't know anything about her. What are the odds she can even read sheet music?" "Well then, let's find out." Magni's grinning. "Got some sheet music?" While Yohai rifles around in a drawer, Magni takes a guitar from its stand and tosses it onto Jackwell's chest, rousing her from half-sleep, hands finding their way around it automatically. Yohai hands Magni a paper, and Magni holds it over Jack's face. "Can you play this, kid?" Jack takes a look and, puzzled, squints. Yohai ducks down to also take a look, takes the paper, rotates it 180 degrees so Jack can see it right side up, and sticks it back in Magni's hand. Clearly, the puzzle's solved. Jack plays the riff, still prone on the bed. Magni gestures at Yohai with the sheet music, pleased. "Colour me surprised." Despite the words, Yohai's got a little smile, too, as she takes the sheet back to put it away. Magni grabs a tissue and passes it to Jack. "Don't choke on that blood, mate. You want something to eat? Let's get you some room service or something."

"'M sorry. For leaving." Inside the confessional booth, Ellis draws her knees to her chest, arms wrapped loosely aroubd them, shoes perched on the seat. "I don't think about God. 'Cause I'm not going to Heaven." She's quiet a while, but before Antony can interrupt, "Nothing I do can ever fix what I did. So if I think about Heaven... I dunno, what's the point, then? Of doing better?" "You're doing the best you can. That's enough. God will forgive you." Looking up at the panel, though not quite at him, she shakes her head. "I think... God shouldn't be allowed to forgive me. It's not Him I hurt."
